I'm sorry, but...

...this kid is a fucking tool.



Dropping out of school to play Guitar Hero? That's wrong for so many reasons. Let me copy and paste my response to this thread.

I'm sorry, but this is fucking retarded. Not only are these people terrible parents, but this kid is so near-sighted as well. Guitar Hero becoming less popular on the side, "professional" gamers make very little money in the first place, and so far he's only made about $1,000, which you could earn at a minimum wage job within a few weeks, even with school.

The thing that bugs me is that this will (most likely) come back to bite gamers in the ass. Kid drops out of school to play video games? People aren't going to blame the parents; you've seen how the violence/video games argument worked. They're going to look at this kid and see him as a "gamer", and they'll think that this is our mindset.

Everyone should listen to  this. The kid is just a stupid shit who just wimped out of high school. I sincerely hope that this kid gets whomped and gets his ass sent back to public school. I mean hell, I'm good at Guitar Hero, but by no means do I want to drop out of school.

Edit: Also, why Guitar Hero? You can't beat 100%, so once you 100% all the songs, you're done. Why not choose Starcraft or Counter-Strike, where you can actually be better than everyone else.
